So proud to once again be part of the organizing committee for the @culturalexpressionsdurham 3rd Annual Unity Through The Arts Juried Art show exhibition in partnership with @rmgoshawa

I have made so many new friends in the arts and made so many wonderful connections.

This year was even better than the year before. 97 talented artists and 150 pieces submitted and distilled to just under 70 pieces of beautiful artwork.

I was honored to be part of such an amazing exhibition and proud to say I contributed to putting it on.

Here are some images of our opening show October 16th. These are just a small number of the numerous talented artists whose work was selected for the show. This includes a fantastic showing of some wonderful young artists from our local schools.

CONGRATULATIONS EVERYONE 🎊.

After teaching class jumped on over to GoodLife to join in on a Caribbean Dance Party 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾.
The vibe and energy is still there with new faces/instructors added to the scene, Love it!

This song came on and it took me back in time. Pre-Covid I definitely had a Soca bug jumping from one Goodlife location to another trying to catch that 60min fete and doing it with the 'gyals'...it was all worth it 🤗

Toronto Outdoor Art Fair! The biggest outdoor art show in Canada. I love coming to see this show (I am NOT exhibiting) when I’m in town and was there right at opening today. I got to take in the installations, the host of new talents and catch up my art friends and colleagues.

If you are in the city this weekend, it is THE art event to go to. Hope everyone enjoys the show, discovers new favourite artists and finds something special for your home or friends. At @nathanphillipssquare Jul 11-13!

Good luck fellow artists!

I’m not involved, but a couple of artists I know (@blaquerock and @jewel.joyful ) are in the 8th Annual Group Show @bluecrowgallery , so I went to the opening this evening. Wonderful, affordable, varied work, well curated. The show runs through August and is well worth a visit.

Thank you for the support and encouragement 🥰.
